I'm not sure if this is going to forestall or foment heated discussion about what is or isn't a sandwich, but it's certainly an attempt to codify what constitutes sandwichness: https://cuberule.com/

hot dogs and burritos are sandwiches right?

All according to cube rule:

Hot dogs are categorically tacos.

Burritos typically begin life as a "calzone", but experience most of their brief lives through the lens of a "soup/salad in a bread bowl".

Sometimes people prefer to fold a burrito into the "sushi" pattern. Depends on your mental image of a burrito.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I agree. People always talk about technicalities, ingredients, structure, etc. in this argument. For me, the main reason why a hotdog isn't a sandwich is that you can't use the two interchangeably. I would never go up to a hotdog stand and ask for a sandwich.

Right. That's why hotdogs are not even food, or organic matter. I would never go up to a hotdog stand and ask for organic matter.

I think hot dogs are vegetarian but not vegan. As in, the stuff in a hotdog may or may not require the killing of the animal.

There’s no such thing as a sandwich (phylogenetically)

There's no such thing as phylogeny (sandwichly)

Fun fact: Some of the sandwiches seem to be rotating in the opposite direction. This is due to an optical illusion called the "Silhouette Illusion" [0], first discovered in 2003. If you focus hard on a sandwich and blur your eyes slightly, you can make it change which direction it rotates. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinning_dancer

I can't see how this is correct. The spinning dancer works because there's no details on it.

Sir, I come to make a complain about no milanesa sandwich. I hope this issue will be fixed soon.

Thanks to everyone who said nice things about my sandwiches!
